a deathly sickness which almost
caused him to fall from the rock.
Recovering, he started by the path
he had climbed, but found that the
rock had been rent in twain, leav-
ing fissure ten feet wide which ac-
counted for the report heard. He
managed to regain the ground and
mounting his horse rode rapidly in
search of his herders. He found
some sheep scattered and bleating
with fright but no herders in sight.
A short distance further on he was
Mortified by finding the body of one
of his men stretched upon the
ground dead. Instituting search
for the other two he found them a
mile away both dead. The bodies
had no mark of violence or injury
of any kind and they were scarcely
cold, the fexibility of the limbs in
dicating that death had overtaken
them all within the time that Con
coles had been in the mesa.

VIEWS OF AN IOWA MAN.

In the Marcus, Iowa, News, we
find the following communication
from the pen of DR.. w. c. Maxey
who has lately settled in Caldwell;
Caldwell, Idaho, is located in one
of the poorest alkali spots in the
Boise valley, but has fine stretch
of territory on all sides. Boise City
is a very beautiful and wealthy
city, was the commercial centre for
Central Idaho but now Caldwell
does about as much business as
Boise. We find the soil of an ash
color from two to twenty feet deep
and where soil is thin we usually
have hardpan. The soil is alluvial,
composed of the dust and ash of
granite, lava lime, potash and sill
cia, with some vegetable mold, all
having the appearance of having
been the bottom of some great body
of water On the mountain sides
and foot hills are seen evidences of
water line. The soil produces
wheat, rye, oats, flax, barley, TIM
othy, red top, and clover which by
the use of irrigation yield better per
acre than that of Iowa. Corn can
be raised, but not successfully; vege-
tables are abundantly produced
and are now in market very cheap.
Farmers are now offering apples by
the wagon load at three cents per
pound, MELONS are grown of enor-
nous size. Bees do well, one colo
ny frequently producing two or
three genera.
The climate thus far to me has
been very fine, the days bright and
warm and the nights cool. The
planting season lasts from March
to the miidle of June and the har-
vest is at leisure, grain standing
for two or three weeks after ripe.
The water is clear, cold and soft |
and can be obtained by boring or
digging to the depth of ten to thirty
feet.
The stock that is here is very in
ferior to that of Iowa in both hor-
ses and cattle, and from what l
can learn this is no country for
hogs. | see but very few and they
box to have been starved.
Wool growing is increasing yearly

dustry. The dry soil and mild eli
mate is especially adapted to devel-
oping the animal as well as fibre.
Eastern capitalists are now sur
veying canals to water lands and in
few years this country will be a
net work of irrigation canals. The
fall of Boise river is about four feet
to the mile and in order to get water
over land is simply to tap the river
few miles above, giving as much
or as little fall as preferred.
The native grass is very fine and
short but very nutritious and grows
everywhere without water, as is the
case with sage brush. The sage
brush is not Objectionable it being
a kind of evergreen adds beauty to
the land and material to the settler.
A fence made of sage built like a
stone fence they claim to last twenty
five years, while the stem makes ex-
cellent stove wood.
An ordinary team and an ordi-
nary pillow can easily break the new
land, there isno sod and the new soil
harrows down loose and mellow
ready for garden or field.
There was no ice here last win
ter. They claim to have had very
bad weather since we came and |
also that the spring is more back
ward than usual on account of so
much snow on the mountains.
In conclusion I would say that
We are not disappointed. The peo-
ole are purely American and treat
is well.

The stockholders of the Idaho
and Oregon Land improvement Co.
last evening closed their fifth an
nual meeting which has been in
session for the past three days at
the Windsor. The old board of di-
rectors has been reelected with one
exception, and these in turn re-
elected the officers as follows; A
Caldwell, president; R. E. Strahorn,
vice-president and general mana
ger; S. f. Taylor, Secretary; A. w.
Mellon, Treasurer. In an inter-
view with General Manager Stra-
horn a News reporter learned that
Idaho Territory and Eastern Ore
.gon are just beginning to sniff the
boom which has worked like a
whirlwind from the Missouri to the
Rockies. All interests are taking
on new life. The great gold and
silver mines about HALEY, the fer
tile farm lands surrounding Cald-
well, Mountain Home and other
towns and the vast perennial pas
lures of the uplands are being util-
lied as never before. Large irrigat-
ing canals are being built, making
room for many Settlers. railroads
are being surveyed and much new
machinery is being set in
motion. Mr., Strahorn puts the
metal yield of Idaho this year at
IS, 100000, the cattle shipments at
10000 head, the wool clip at 1,000,-
300 pounds, and is of the opinion
hat not less than $50 miles of
main irrigating canals will be built |
before May, 1883. Mr. Strahorn
believes that Idaho is just in the
light stage of development to be
most inviting to home-seekers and
investors of any kind.
Mr.. Caldwell and Mrs. Taylor go
With Mr.. Strahorn to Idaho today

While DR.. Taylor returns to Leaven-

Progress in Japan.

1t is sad to learn that oIc Of the sacri-
fees which progress requires from
Japan is the abolition of the pretty,
graceful, and becoming COSTUME in
which the women c.othe themselves.
The Times CORES spondcnt at Toxic de.
clarcs that the adoption OF European
garb is not due to feminine caprice OF
the eagerness Of millincrs after some new
thing 1t is part Of deliberate policy
entered upon by Count Ito, the most
sagocious of living japanese statesmen,
ana is closely connected with the future
well-being Of the country. Japan has
committed herself to occideutalism, and
she must 90 on and become one of the
circle of western nations n all respects.
But though the male japanese shoots
and hunts, and speaks French, and
reads Mr.. Herbert Spencer, and does
little on the stock exchange, the Japan
csc woman is still in the oriental con-
dtion Of bondage and Ignorance. jap
anese domestic life, thinks Count Ito,
must be revoIutionizel, and the present
arrangements of the japanese home
rendered this physically impossible.
Corsets and "dress improvers," and
Partisan bonncts will tend to that end.

dress, which combines simplicity and
grace with the most delightful pic
turesqueness should have to disappear.

Mr.. Everts Got a Reply.

At New York city, in the fall Of
1sG-, a case was tried in which Senator
Eyarts appeared for defense. Mr.. Evarts
made the concluding argument, and the
fame Of the great counselor secured Tor
him considerable audience Of lawyers
from neighboring courts, in addition to
many persons who had more or less in
tercst in the proceedings.
Mr.. Eyerts had been speaking for some
hours and was evidently nearing his pc
roration. He began to sum up his ar
mlments, and asked imprcssiyely what
answer could be made to them. Again
he placed the points in lucid array, and
ag,in asked similar question. Then
third time he rcstated his case with
,iyid cloquence, and once more, III loud
er tones, wound upwith.

In moment the room was ringing
with uncomfortable laughter, in which
everybody joined even the Judge on
the bench and the orator himself. Mr..

was the first TO recover composure.

Glass of Water in the Morning.

According to Dr.. Lauf, when water is
taken into the full or partly full stomach,
it docs not mingle with the food, as we
are generally taught but passes along
quickly between the food and the lesser
curvature, towards the pylorus, through
which it passes INTO tho intestine. The
secretion of mucus by tho lining mem
brane is constant, and during the night
considerable amount accumulates in
the stomach, some Of its liquid portion
is absorbed, and that which remains is
thick and tenacious. If food is taken
into the stomach when in this condition,
it becomes coated with this mucus, and
the secretion of the gastric juice and its
action are delayed. These facts show
the value Of a goblet Of water before
breakfast This washes out the tena-
cious mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old or feeble
persons water should not be taken cold,
but it may be with great advantage then
taken warm or hot This removal of
the accumulated mucus from the stomach
is prob lbly one of the reasons why taxi
ing soup at the beginning of meal has
always been found so beneficial. Il New
York Post.
